NEW YORK, NY – Over 100 women who work or are involved in the beer industry in NYC will gather together on Monday, February 27 for “New York City Women in Beer,” a social and networking event to be held at Taproom 307 (307 3rd Ave.) in Manhattan.
The event is organized by Emily Garland, Founder and CEO of Tapped Craft Beer events, and Sonya Giacobbe, co-owner of Kelso Beer Co.
"The idea for NYC Women in Beer originally came to me because I'm interested in meeting more women in the industry,” said Garland. “Sonya and I are thrilled with the response. Our hope is that this event will not only provide women with an opportunity to expand their networks and discover new business opportunities, but also encourage dialogue and education among different sides of the the industry that may not frequently interact, leading to a strengthening of the community and a foundation for further growth and innovation.”
Giacobbe added, “Networking is the grease in any field of work. It's through networking that unexpected opportunities, surprising collaborations and new ideas are formed. For whatever reason, most women in the industry just aren't in the positions that afford them the chance to network on a regular basis, so we wanted to create that space. Also, beer people are good people, so why not organize a night of drinking with them?"
Admission is free but an RSVP is required. There will be $5 draft beers during the event, which will run from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
Women from many notable breweries, bars, distributors and other beer-related organizations have registered, including the Brooklyn Brewery, Peekskill Brewery, Union Beer Distributors, Blind Tiger, Brooklyn Homebrew and Yankee Brew News.
“It is a very exciting time for beer in New York City – I'm excited to see where this event could lead us, and encourage all women in the industry to attend!" said Garland.

Shmaltz Releases Latest Year Round Beer: Hop Manna IPA
HE'BREW BEER INTRODUCES ITS FIRST NEW YEAR-ROUND CREATION IN 4 YEARS:
Hop Manna IPA
Just when you thought there were no more Hop-related names left to exploit: Enter the Torah!
Dry Hopped, 6.8% Alc., 65 IBUs
February - March 2012 and beyond...
New York, San Francisco, Beyond - February 14, 2012 - All ye wandering the vast Macro Beer Desert, thirst no more! Introducing Hop Manna® -- the first-ever single IPA from HE'BREW Beer® and a gift from the Craft Beer Promised Land. Hop Manna® is the answer to hop heads prayers for a delicious IPA bearing floral and citrus flavors. At 65 IBUs and 6.8% ABV, Hop Manna® is crafted to provide session after session of hop nourishment from the Shmaltz Tribe to yours. Hop Manna® is now nationally available in 22 oz. bottles and a limited amount of draft at select bars.
The national craze for IPAs is at an all-time high. TheBeerBible.com announced in December 2011 that IPA is currently the second fastest growing category in the US with more than 40% growth over the past year. After 4 Test Batches throughout 2011, Hop Manna® is bound for glory as Shmaltz Brewing premieres an advance copy of the HE'BREW offering at SF Beer Week (February 10 - 19, 2012). Hop Manna® features six robust hops (Warrior, Cascade, Citra, Amarillo, Crystal, Centennial), three dry hops (Centennial, Cascade and Citra), and is balanced out with five delicious malts (Specialty 2-Row, Wheat, Munich, Vienna, CaraMunich 40). Not a San Diego IPA (enticing as they are) and not trying to re-create the excellent standouts from friends such as Dogfish, Founders, Lagunitas, Three Floyds and so many others, Hop Manna® aims to create a unique story -- and flavors - of its own.
Shmaltz is no stranger to hops. In celebration of their 10th Anniversary (2006), HE'BREW Beer® introduced its award-winning rye-based double IPA, Bittersweet Lenny's R.I.P.A.® (now available in 4-packs, 12 oz. bottles). The standout robust brew has become a year-round staple in the HE'BREW Beer® line-up; it's garnered a "98 Rating" on Ratebeer.com, and recently took home a Gold Medal at the 2011 World Beer Championships. Boston Phoenix touted Lenny's R.I.P.A.® by saying, "[Bittersweet Lenny's] pours a rich, deep mahogany color, topped with a billowing viscous head. The Flavor? Allow me to quote from my notes: WOW."
Shmaltz also recently redesigned both the packaging and the recipe for its original creation and flagship beer, He'brew Genesis Dry-Hopped Session Ale, which shipped to wholesalers nationally over the last 2 months.

From the label of Hop Manna®
In the book of Exodus, the ancient Hebrews survived 400 years of bondage before the ultimate supreme court dropped the 10 deadly Plagues on the land of the taskmasters and the head dictator, Pharaoh. Even then, only begrudgingly, did he Let My People Go. The freedom ride across, nay through the sea left a band of wandering nomads broke and suffering, no doubt with a profound hunger - and a mighty thirst. Enter the Manna: a glorious gift to nourish body and soul. Manna was said to combine the tastes of everything most delicious to each individual, depending on their desire. And as the Good Book says, Each shall gather according to one's need and shall enjoy a double portion for thine chosen day of rest. Manna fed the entire tribe, but tradition suggests the righteous received manna ground in a heavenly mill, while the wicked had to grind it below for themselves. Hear o' Tribe of Shmaltz - Behold: A celebration of the flower of the craft beer revolution! A golden opportunity to feed your inner hop head and rejoice in HOP MANNA, our newest delicacy of the modern He'brew Beer family. L'Chaim!
